This CFS CookStar CKH is a spiral oven — sometimes referred to as a spiral conveyor oven — designed for continuous thermal processing of food products. CFS, or CFS Food Machinery, was a well-established manufacturer of industrial food processing and packaging equipment, supplying systems to large-scale meat, poultry, and convenience food producers worldwide. Spiral ovens of this type are used in high-volume production environments where consistent cooking, baking, or heating of products is required over an extended, adjustable dwell time within a compact footprint.
This particular unit carries build dates of 1994 and 2002, and is offered used from its current location in the Netherlands. The oven is configured with a 400 mm wide belt arranged in a two-stack spiral system of 2 × 4 tiers, giving a total belt length of 44 metres within the machine's envelope. A product gap of 130 mm accommodates a range of product profiles. Retention time is fully variable between 2.5 and 75 minutes, providing considerable flexibility across different product types and cooking requirements.
Heating is provided by thermal oil at a rated capacity of 300 kW, and the maximum operating temperature is 200°C. The machine is also equipped for steam injection via an NW40 connection at 4 to 8 bar, enabling moist-heat cooking cycles where required. Exhaust capacity is provided by two extraction points each rated at 2,000 m³/h, giving a total exhaust throughput of 4,000 m³/h. Compressed air is required at 6 to 8 bar, and the electrical supply is 3 × 400 V, 50 Hz, with an installed electrical power of 35 kW.
The machine measures 8,250 × 3,150 × 4,250 mm and weighs approximately 12,000 kg. It is offered complete with a belt washer and a CIP (clean-in-place) system, supporting efficient sanitation in food-grade production environments.
